About Providence Projects
Providence Projects is dedicated to addressing a range of addictions (including ketamine addiction) and co-occurring mental health conditions with compassion and expertise. Their personalised treatment plans are designed to meet the unique needs of each individual, ensuring the best possible chance for long-term recovery. Their affordable residential rehab begins with a stay of 28 days, providing a solid foundation, with the option to extend treatment and complete secondary care. Providence Projects—fondly referred to as “The Provy”—is situated just east of Bournemouth and a few hundred yards from 7 miles of golden sandy beaches. They have helped over 10,000 clients with recovery since their doors opened in 1996.
Get Tailored Therapies for Recovery & Overall Well-Being
Treatment is designed to address the underlying issues of addiction and to help clients develop strategies and tools to remain sober. Clients are each assigned a personal therapist throughout their stay, who will be responsible for overseeing and coordinating the treatment plan, and ensuring needs are met. When detox is necessary, experienced staff provide 24/7 medical support. After detox, clients' physical health remains a top priority, with particular attention given to addressing memory loss and cognitive impairment often associated with ketamine addiction. During primary treatment, clients engage in tailored individual and group therapy sessions that include therapeutic methods like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help reshape negative thought patterns and motivational interviewing to boost their readiness for change. Holistic therapies such as mindfulness, meditation, and exercise are also incorporated to enhance overall well-being. There really is something for everyone from acupuncture to boxercise, workshops to assignments, 12-Step meetings to music therapy. At Providence Projects, they aim to ensure the treatment experience is not only successful but also enjoyable.
Easily Extend Treatment for Further Healing
Treatment for addiction can take time and many clients see moving on to Providence Projects’ second-stage programme as a natural progression. Clients can extend for an additional 2 to 8 weeks to explore and resolve complex issues that may have proved too much in the primary programme. Clients connect with a therapist to work through a set of agreed goals to continue to increase the chances of long-term recovery. These issues are of course different for each client but may include self-esteem, boundaries, relapse prevention, adverse childhood experiences, relationships, the 12-Steps, shame and guilt, thinking errors, shame and guilt, families and much more. There is also a focus on reintegration; clients will have the opportunity to work closely with their therapist, peer group and loved ones during this process and home visits may also be a key part of this transition.
Develop a Plan for Life Beyond Rehab
During the programme, clients work closely with their therapist, group, and possibly significant others to identify potential risks and difficulties that could arise when leaving rehab. An individualized plan will outline a range of coping strategies and exactly what each client will have in place to give the support and tools required. Aftercare plans may include 1:1 counselling, exercise and wellbeing regimes, work, family counselling, attendance at 12-Step groups, alternative therapies as well as some health hobbies and activities. Although clients will have their plan in place, all ex clients can call or pop in at any time to access further support or reconnect.
Feel at Home in an Active Seaside Town
The Provy is located in the popular seaside resort of Bournemouth, where clients can take frequent walks on some of the best beaches in Britain to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and connect with nature. There are also plenty of activities for all ages including surfing, sailing, fishing, golfing, horse riding, walking, cycling, water sports and much more. The town centre has a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and cafes as well as theatres, cinemas and museums. Travel links to Bournemouth are available from London Heathrow Airport (LHR) which is approximately one hour’s drive away. Safe and discreet transportative services are available to bring clients directly to the facility. All clients are provided with their own room. The accommodation feels very much home away from home, and the house is equipped with Wi-Fi, flat screen television, and all required kitchenware and utensils.

Build Supportive Relationships
The connection made between housemates and peers is an important aspect of daily life at The Provy. People from all walks of life make friendships that often last a lifetime. Of course, no one goes to rehab to make friends, but these friendships, the support given to one another, the camaraderie and the sense of community all contribute to the magical atmosphere at The Provy. Following on from this, there is also a buddy system in place so that alongside a client’s personal therapist, they will be assigned a buddy who has been in the programme a little while and help them find their way around from day 1. After they’ve settled in, they’ll also have the chance to become a buddy, supporting new clients who may be feeling nervous.
Choose a Celebrity-Endorsed, Quality-Assured Centre
Since 1996, Providence Projects has treated over 10,000 people struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. As a leading rehab centre in the UK, many famous footballers and artists have come to The Provy seeking help. Matt Willis of the band ‘Busted’, Fatboy Slim, and the legendary footballer Paul Gascoigne have all found recovery success as a result of their evidence-based programme. Regardless of a client’s background, everyone benefits from the same quality treatment that is consistently well rated according to Care Quality Commission’s nationally approved standards as evidenced by reports from regular unannounced inspections.
Find Excellent Care at a Reasonable Price
Providence Projects can proudly say that they are both one of the more affordable options in the UK and one of the most successful. Compared to the average cost of rehab treatment in the UK (£12,000), Providence Projects’ cost is competitive without compromising on quality: they charge a fixed cost of £7,500 for their 28-day programmes. This price includes medical assessment, staff costs, immediate admission, detox, private accommodations, intensive rehab programme including 1:1 therapy, evidence-based therapies, holistic therapies, family support and aftercare. For those that wish to extend their treatment, they offer secondary treatment at a fixed cost of £1,300 per week. There are no hidden charges or fees.
Experience a Structured & Holistic Daily Life
The daily therapeutic journey undertaken by all clients at The Provy spans from one-on-one counselling sessions to fun beach activities, from relapse prevention workshops to acupuncture sessions. It encompasses self-esteem-building sessions, consequences assignments, and the joy of laughter shared with peers, as well as delving into the exploration of self-defeating behaviours. With elements such as music therapy and challenging couple counselling sessions, each component contributes to making life at The Provy a life-changing experience. It will be a roller coaster of emotions but it may well be the most important 4 weeks of a client’s life.

Testimonial
The Providence Project has changed my life, it was the best decision I have ever made. When I went in I was physically, mentally and emotionally broken. I was absolutely terrified walking through the door. What I found saved my life. Through the help of the very talented, caring, loving and understanding of the wonderful people that work there, I started to feel alive again. ... The Providence project is a place where miracles happen and you find angels at work.
